Abstract
A relay device includes a first contact, a second contact, a first conductor, a second conductor, a housing, and a heat transfer member. The first contact and the second contact are switchable between a state of being close to each other and a state of being separated from each other. The first contact is electrically coupled at the first conductor. the second contact is electrically coupled at the second conductor. The housing accommodates the first contact, the second contact, the first conductor, and the second conductor. The heat transfer member is higher in thermal conductivity than the housing. The heat transfer member extends from outside the housing to inside the housing and is in contact with one or both of the first conductor and the second conductor.
Claims20
A relay device comprising:
- a first contact and a second contact that are switchable between a state of being close to each other and a state of being separated from each other;
- a first conductor where the first contact is electrically coupled;
- a second conductor where the second contact is electrically coupled;
- a housing accommodating the first contact, the second contact, the first conductor, and the second conductor;
- and
- a heat transfer member being higher in thermal conductivity than the housing,
- wherein the heat transfer member extends from outside the housing to inside the housing and is in contact with one or both of the first conductor and the second conductor, and
- wherein the heat transfer member directly contacts one or both of the first conductor and the second conductor.
